Pocket Cloth Diapers on a Budget

While pocket cloth diapers might often be one of the most expensive types of diapering systems, they can be a great option when you’re on a budget by buying cloth diaper packages.

Remember our breakdown of cloth diapering systems that I wrote a few days ago? I shared that it is possible to cloth diaper, even on the strictest of budgets. And that you even still have options!

Now, you don’t have to be on a budget to buy these cloth diapers – obviously. But if you are, imported diapers might just be a good option for your family. 

First, let’s get all this imported talk out of the way so we can focus on the adorable black diaper {that we were sent free for review} that you see above from Comfy Rumps!

There are quite a few different companies that sell cloth diaper made in other countries – a lot being from China. This is where the term “China Cheapies” comes from – if you’ve heard it thrown around. 

A company like Comfy Rumps provides these imported pocket cloth diapers for sale in the US and Canada, giving their customers a great selection of affordable diapers, personal customer service, and diaper warranties.

So, why are cheap pocket cloth diapers sometimes shunned?

Honestly – I have no clue.  Sure, I love to support USA made just as much as the next person, BUT I dare you to look at your clothing labels. I think it’s time we step back and look at cloth diapers the same way we look at our clothes.

We’ve never had a black diaper in our stash, so I was ecstatic that Christie sent along a black Double Gusset Comfy Rumps cloth diaper. I was even more ecstatic when I realized that this black beauty was an All-in-One! 

I’ve been cloth diapering for over 3 years people, I’m lazy about stuffing pockets. Well, I still stuff this one with an extra hemp insert, but you get my drift!

One row of snaps in this One Size AIO, with a hip snap on the side, gets a great fit on Moreaya on the next to largest setting. It’s one of the first diapers that I reach for when it’s clean because it fits her so trimly – even with that extra hemp insert stuffed in.

We were also sent this cute print in a Comfy Rumps Bamboo Pocket Cloth Diaper, another of my favorite types of cloth diapers. The diaper fits almost identical to the Double Gusset black diaper. 

This is a pocket style diaper that comes with a Bamboo insert. Bamboo is a bit more absorbent than microfiber – similar to hemp – and is a natural fiber. Some babies are allergic to the fleece lined diapers and synthetic microfiber, so bamboo is a great cloth diaper insert option.

I line dry my covers, so this cover often times gets a bit stiff, like a lot of natural fibers used in cloth diapers. I also prefer a more stay dry inner as the bamboo stays a little more moist. Laying a reusable fleece liner on top takes care of this issue though!

Although some would argue that prefolds, flats, and covers aren’t hard – some families tend to shy away from that system. 

Comfy Rumps is offering cloth diapers to families that are affordable and in my honest opinion, well-made diapers. We’ve actually had both of these in our stash for over a month now and they are performing just as well as their competitors in our stash!

Let’s get to breaking down using pocket cloth diapers on a budget.

When this review was written in 2013, you could purchase a 24 package of Comfy Rumps pocket cloth diapers for $190.80 on Amazon. That comes out to just about $7.96 per diaper.

While the brand is no longer around, there are comparable brands and diapers to these for sell on Amazon now. I would most likely align them with the AlvaBaby brand on Amazon now.

You can purchase a 6 pack for $34.99, which comes out actually cheaper than I originally quoted cloth diapering a child with pocket cloth diapers!

Using AlvaBaby diapers on Amazon, you could cloth diaper a child with cheap pocket cloth diapers for $139.96!

No matter how you choose to diaper your child, it’s your choice.  You’ll save tons of money in the long run, compared to disposables!
